Lemon Tea Granita

teas.co.uk · 2 hr 15 min · Makes 6 scoops

You'll need

• 3 tea bags of Cotterley Lemon Tea
• 400ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 70g caster sugar
• 60ml fresh lemon juice
• Zest of 1 fresh lemon, finely grated
• 1 shallow 1L freezer proof container with lid
• 1 small saucepan and a saucer for covering
• 1 fork for stirring

Method

1. Steep 3 tea bags in 400ml of just boiled water for 5 minutes, covered with a saucer to hold the heat.
2. Lift out the bags and stir the caster sugar into the hot tea until it has fully dissolved.
3. Stand the pan in cold water for about 5 minutes to bring the syrup down to room temperature.
4. Stir through the lemon juice and the grated zest.
5. Pour into a shallow freezer proof container, no deeper than a couple of centimetres.
6. Freeze for an hour, then drag a fork right through to break up the first ice crystals.
7. Keep forking every 20 minutes for two more rounds, roughly two hours in all, until the ice is loose and flaky.
8. Scoop into chilled bowls and serve straight away; granita softens fast once it leaves the freezer.
